'See the dark lady smile'
Lyrics from Burn It Blue*
by Caetano Veloso & Lila Dawn
Woman so weary
Spread your unbroken wings
Fly free as the swallow sings
Come to the fireworks
See the dark lady smile
She burns…
And the night sky
blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she’s free to fly…
*If you'd like to hear the full song performed,
here's a clip from the Academy Awards performance.

You've likely seen the movie about her (10 years ago?). Her house inspired a few designs of my own, 1000 - 1200 sq. ft. rectangles with many windows opening to inner courtyard.
I just need the right building lot. And money. And permission to sell our house and move. Haha! Not is this lifetime.
